I am trying to fetch the logs from multiple location and would like to create a single index for those multiple logs...is there anyway via which I can configure in input filter in .conf file??? input { file { path =\> "/elk/MAILGW-SMPTPD/elk/MAILGW-SMPTPD/spamfilter-3/qmail/\*" start\_position =\> "beginning" } } In place of path can I paste multiple path locations or can use "path1=\>..." something I like that?????? ---

> [@Vikash\_Singh1](#): > > In place of path can I paste multiple path locations Yes. The path option to a file input takes an "array", so you can pass it multiple paths, each of which can contain wildcards. ``` path => ["/home/user/foo.txt", "/home/user/bar.txt"] ``` ---
